You’d be forgiven for having no earthly idea who Hungarian soccer star Martin Ádám was prior to the start of Euro 2024. But after seeing what he looks like, we’re sure you’ll have seen him before.
Ádám has been going viral on Saturday ever since today’s Euro game between Hungary and Switzerland (a 3-1 win for the Swiss). When Ádám was brought on as a sub in the 79th minute, fans immediately realized who he reminded them of:
Travis and/or Jason Kelce. Don’t believe us? See for yourself:

“Hungary’s Secret Weapon: Playing the 3rd Kelce Brother up top as No. 9,” Men In Blazers wrote on X.
They weren’t the only ones.
“Why Travis Kelce playing for Hungary,” another user asked.
“I think Euro Kelce just came in for Hungary,” wrote a third.
“WTF was Jason Kelce doing playing for Hungary at the Euros?!” asked a fourth.
The resemblance is pretty striking – particularly due to the beard and the hair color. And at 6-foot-3 he’s actually about the same size as Jason (albeit with a little less mass).
But the likelihood that Ádám is some kind of long lost brother or cousin of the Kelces is low. Ádám was born in Hungary in 1994 and started playing at the youth level at age 9. He joined the Hungarian club Vasas as a teenager in 2012 and has played in over 300 games in his home country, scoring 108 goals in all competitions.
That said, it’ll be interesting to see if the Kelce brothers address the similarity in one of their upcoming podcasts.
